1:8 The Hebrew word translated fat describes the suet, or hard fat, from around the kidneys and loins. This specific term occurs only here and in 1:12 and 8:20. All fat—not just this special fat—was considered God’s portion (3:14-17; 7:23-25; see 1 Sam 2:15-17). Only the whole burnt offering was entirely consumed on the altar. With other offerings, the fatty portions and certain internal organs were burned; the rest belonged to the officiating priests and sometimes to the worshiper (Lev 7:11-18).
